John Bolaris Says We’re Getting More Snow Than He First Thought [UPDATED]

ORIGINAL:
As you might imagine, the local meteorologists have dialed back their specificity a bit after the debacle surrounding our first major snowfall of the season and the whole ridiculous long-range winter forecast thing which didn’t even manage to predict December’s weather with any degree of accuracy. As of Thursday afternoon, after days of cautious speculation, John Bolaris was saying that the predicted snowfall amounts in the Philadelphia region were “inching up.”

Bolaris predicts that parts of South Jersey and the Poconos could get as much as 10 inches. Check back tomorrow when we report on how none of this happened as we expected it to, because it's, you know, the weather.

Seems like a HARD prediction to make. Maybe he’s a bit too EXCITED. Perhaps he won’t PULL OUT of this one.

I’m really glad you put your double entendres in all caps. They would have been way too subtle otherwise.
